UNIT 2:  COMPUTATIONAL ARTIFACTS

In this unit, students are introduced to the first computational artifact types: those that are primarily text-based. It does so by introducing the Google Docs document editor to illustrate creating text-based documents, to illustrate cloud-based applications, and to illustrate the important idea that computing facilitates collaboration (which Google Docs is designed to do). It also introduces the concept of meta data by showing the metadata kept in documents. The assignment has students create a text-based Google Doc and save it in .txt, .docx, and .pdf formats. It then has the students examine properties of the three formats including: files size and metadata. One of the video lectures is dedicated to showing how to do this assignment.
